In the forgetting of tree and tree
Is the dog's lyric assault
At the pointless journey's endpoint
Night turns all gold keys
No door opens for you

What a lantern abides by
Are winter's ancient laws
I head straight for you
The folding fans of history you open
Are solitude's songs when shut

Evening bells question you, carefree-remote
Echoes twice make you an answer
Night rises against the current
Roots in secret generate electricity
Your orchard is lit

I head straight for you
Guiding all foreign roads
When flame tries to pierce heavy snows
Sunfall seals off Empire
The book of Earth flips open to this moment
